Re: get_absolute_url with custom extra parameter

The template language does not allow for the passing of arguments to model methods.

Two methods does not seem ugly to me.  But if you feel that you need something else, you could write a template filter used something like:

  {{ album|get_photo_url:"thumbnails" }}

The implementation of the filter is in python, and could pass the argument when calling album's method.  (I'd suggest not calling the method "get_absolute_url", however, because that name is special to Django, and is not expected to take such an argument.)

Thank you for your answer!

I have a photo album which can be displayed in two modes: full (with url like 'album/id/full') and thumbnails ( like 'album/id/thumbnails' ). I would like 'get_absolute_url' to return a corresponding url depending on the given mode, something like {{ album.get_absolute_url full }} and {{ album.get_absolute_url thumbnails }}

The only solution I could find is to use two different functions: get_absolute_url_full and get_absolute_url_thumbnails. It works but it's ugly, I don't like it at all.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

You can't pass parameters to model functions from within a template. What exactly are you trying to achieve?

Hello friends,

Is the any way to pass an extra parameter to get_absolute_url method of a model instance from template?

Thank you for your answer.
